Planning to Give a Special Gift Box for Your Loved Ones? How About Adding a Personal Touch?

Do you remember getting a gift box so beautifully done that you didn’t want to open it right away; instead, you spent half of your time, simply staring at the box?

Yes, we all have been there – receiving a gift that has been wrapped beautifully and creatively always warms our heart; after all, it’s been done with loving care. When a gift is wrapped beautifully with a personal touch, it makes it more meaningful – so, why not try this very approach to do with your recipients for your gift box?

Adding the Initials of the Recipient on the Wrapped Gift Box.

After wrapping the gift box with a beautiful wrapping paper, how about you take cardstock and add the initials of the recipient. You can either hand paint the initials, or print them, either way, it's a thoughtful gesture to do.

After done, take a jute twine and wrap it around the gift box – add your handwritten card of initials and put it under the twine (but make sure that it doesn’t come off as too loose, or else, the card will fall off). When done, the gift box will come off as a beautiful and personalised gift that your recipient will surely love.

How About Creating the Silhouettes of Your Loved Ones?

How about mixing in a bit of fun with the gift giving? Instead of providing the names on the gifts, how about you giving silhouettes?

You can create the silhouettes of your loved ones, and attach them to the gifts – make them guess as to which gift is for them. It will make a great game at the party, as everyone will try to guess which gift is for them.

That said, instead of adding the silhouettes of the person, you can also add silhouettes of objects, letters, or shapes that represent their interests.

Adding Photos Instead of Gift Tags

We usually add gift tags as the finishing touch to any gift box – now, instead of it, why not opt for something unique?

You can use photos in place of gift tags – not only will it make the gift unique, but it will also add a lovely personalised touch to the gift. Plus, it will also help to identify the owner, leaving no confusion as to who the gift belongs to.

Consider Including Meaningful Objects

You can also try to include objects and add them to the gift box instead of adding gift tags – though be sure to remember to add only those items that hold a special meaning to the recipient – we assure you that they surely would love it more!

Taking Help from Your Garden

Did you know that small branches or twigs also make a great personalised touch to the gift?

You can go the usual way of wrapping the gift box with wrapping paper, and then tie the jute twine around it – only instead of adding the gift tag, you can opt for a simple twig or branches, and if berries happen to be on them, it’s even better.

Taking Note of Their Hobbies & Interests

When giving gifts, the recipients always get a nice feeling if the giver tries to include objects that hold of some value to them.

It is suggested that you choose a beautiful wrapping paper, bright ribbons, and toppers, and you will know that the gift will be a winner.

Make Your Own Silver Box! Here Are Some Things to Keep in Mind.

Who doesn’t adore gift boxes – they are cost-effective, beautiful in their way and also can be customised for the recipients.

Thinking of giving a gift box – if you are giving it to your nearest and dearest ones, you can make do with a corrugated box, and cover it in the choicest of wrapping paper. If, you, however, are looking to mail a gift box, then, you have the option to use shipping boxes – not only they are tough, but they will also keep the items inside the box intact.

When it comes to giving a gift box, it is recommended that you always include a note or letter along with it. We have very few opportunities in life to tell others about how much they mean to us, and if we get the chance, then, why not use it to let them know?

For the Travel Junkies

Be it for business or pleasure, travelling for those reasons always gives us an excuse to get a great travel gift box, and it would indeed make an excellent gift for any traveller out there too.

So, what should you include in a gift box fit for a traveller?

The very thing that you need to include in a traveller’s gift box is a good quality toiletry bag along with a toothbrush and toothpaste holder – as these are the necessities, of course. Next, you have the option to add a good shaving kit if the traveller happens to be a guy, and if it’s a girl, you can opt for a hairbrush.

Don’t forget to add in two or three plain bottles for drinking water. Add in a leather luggage tag, and a sleep mask, and you are done.

For Your Friend with a Green Thumb

Know someone who is fond of gardening, and it has left you wondering on what can you include in a gift box that is suitable for them?

Well, for starters, since they are fond of gardening, the first thing that you can include is a set of gardening tools, and cover with them, a pair of gloves. Of course, gardening will have to be done outdoors, so, why not add a wide-brimmed straw hat to keep them fresh in the scorching sun?

Add to the gift box a few (four or five) small linen drawstring bags, so that they can store their seeds in them. If possible, you can even add in a weeder along with a compost gardener.

Be ready to get a whole lot of thanks when you give this gift box to your friendly green thumbs!

For the New Mom-To-Be

If you are planning to make a gift box for a new mom, it’s quite important to strike a balance. Granted, she will spend her time thinking about her baby every waking moment, but yes, she will also need to take care of herself too.

It is suggested that you should include gifts for both, herself and the baby. You can add in an Amazon gift card if you have no idea what she actually wants – all you need to do is to watch the baby for a few minutes, help the new mom get to settle on the couch and take her shopping on Amazon.

You also have the option to add two coffee mugs – one for the mom and the other for the dad, and fill them with flavoured decaf coffee! Add in a massaging lotion and a refreshing bath salt in a bottle – after all, the new mom needs to relax and heal too.

For the Crazy Friends

We all have those few crazy friends in our groups without whom we can’t do anything, and our lives will be meaningless! How about you shower them with gifts to show how much you love them – one of the best ideas is to opt for a gift box – fill it with stuff that you know they will like.

If your friend is a lady and likes all spa-related goodies, you can fill it with loofahs, body washes, relaxing candles, and bath gels – add to that a handwritten note, and you are done.

Have someone in your circle who likes to bake – you can add in three linen napkins, followed by two bottles of syrup, add in a kitchen set consisting of a blender, spatula, spoon and such. You can even add in a recipe book if you so like. We assure that your friend is surely going to appreciate it!

For the Crafty Ones

To plan a gift box for those friends who like to go the ‘DIY’ way so often, here’s what you can do.

Go to Pinterest, and search for a DIY-project that you know they will like – print out that project on high-quality paper (cardstock works best in this case) and buy all the material that is needed to make the project – include all of those items in the gift box and add in a small handwritten note.

It would make for quite a unique gift box idea!
